Christianity Origins and Founders
Yahushua (Jesus) was born about two thousand years ago. Traditional teachings tells us of a miraculous conception in Nazareth (which is a town located of northern Israel), and of a birth by the virginal mother Mary in Bethlehem, (a town located in the south not far from Jerusalem). The birth of Yahushua (Jesus) also includes three wise men who believed in this forthcoming prophesy , they followed a guiding star to the baby soon after his birth.
Almost everything we know of Yahushua (Jesus) comes from the four gospels of the New Testament.
(Testament means "contract" or "covenant", and gospel means "good news") The gospels, however, tell very little of Jesus until he began a public life of teaching and healing. He probably began this public life in his late 20s, when he gathered twelve disciples and moved from place to place, teaching about the coming of what he called the kingdom of God |
